[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh here we go with the attempts at being cute and haughty--which I find hilarious! The bottom line is that my children weren't raised in a danger zone nor subjected to failing schools. But yours are, as you lament it all and stew about it. So I totally get your anger. And the fact that you'd move into an urban area then be pissed that the schools don't cater to you allows me to understand why you can't stick to or address a topic without name calling and attempts at snobbery. The teachers are ineffective, posters who disagree are _____. But what do you call a 'parent' who subjects her kids to the shitshow that is DCPS? Better yet, one who claims their kids are safe from the dysfunction yet they're so passionate about everyone else's kids and tax dpillars? BS: You're pissed that you have to shell out $ you can't afford to send your kids to private. You're upset that your white skin doesn't make the black leaders of DC fall over to please you. I find that hysterical![/quote]
You have a gift for wild speculation and, apparently, an agenda that won't let you comprehend what most posters are saying. There is a lot of room for improvement in DCPS. Our kids are doing great despite problems with DCPS. We don't have to go private or move. Many of their classmates are not doing as well. Improving DCPS will benefit everyone. Other city services have made significant improvements in the past 20-25 years. Are you the only one in the city that doesn't want to see DCPS do the same?[/quote]

Bless your heart. It seems like you mean well and really want to understand, but the Hear Only What I Want To Hear disease has gotten you.

I'd love nothing more than to see DC schools improve. But that point went right over your head.

The reality is that criticizing teachers, trying to be condescending to someone (esp knowing NOTHING of who s/he is or their accomplishment, credentials, etc) whining because a teacher showed movies--especially after it's been fully explained WHY!--will not improve the system. If you don't like the way things are going in DCPS, do better for your children!

Other services have made improvements in the past 20-25 years, you say? Great! But until DCPS does, do better for your kids. If you're willing to work to improve the school system, DO SO! But criticizing and making demands that will benefit YOUR snowflake while ignoring the reality of the other 98% in the system does no good.

DCPS is concerned with the education of ALL of its kids. However, the overwhelming majority is poor, black, traumatized, angry, and dealing with serious dysfunction at home. So what are they to do? Offer more foreign languages, more AP courses? Guess what? They've done that. But it hasn't worked. Fire and replace most of the teaching/principal corps every year? Done that too! Didn't work. Switch to a 100% organic menu? Guess what...

Understand the issues in DCPS are larger than teachers, movie-showing and not having enough white kids.[/quote]

I don't recall saying anything about AP courses or foreign languages. Let's just stick to the fundamentals. For instance, teaching class in the core subjects every day during the appropriate class time. [/quote]
